Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we have reduced our hours but we are OPEN.

We are following all CDC guidelines including that to postpone wellness vision care; the doctor is in for emergency eye care needs, phone orders with free shipping, and curbside services including pickup of glasses or contacts.

Pediatric Eye Care

Support your child’s highest potential.

Healthy vision is one of the most important components of your child’s wellness.

Vision develops rapidly starting at birth and is tied to many developmental milestones, such as hand-eye coordination and reading. In the long term, your child’s vision will impact how they learn, play, and interact with the world.

While there may be some obvious signs of visual disorders, many vision problems can only be detected by a qualified eye doctor during a comprehensive eye exam.

Is your child having trouble seeing?

Some symptoms are more obvious, like squinting or holding reading materials very close. But often the early signs are subtle and can even be misdiagnosed.

Your child may be experiencing a vision problem if he or she does any of the following:

Avoids reading and close-up work like coloring or doing puzzles

Seems to work slow or not understand the task

Complains of fatigue or headaches

Has a short attention span or seems distracted

Covers one eye or tilts head when focusing on something

Shows sensitivity to light

Exhibits difficulty with coordination

Common eye disorders in children

Vision can be affected by many things, including the shape of the eyeball, how the eyes and brain work together, and by other diseases or medical conditions. The good news is that many eye disorders can be successfully identified and treated.

The most common eye disorders are caused by the shape and alignment of the eyes, including:

Strabismus is when the eyes do not align properly. This is often referred to as “crossed eyes.”

Amblyopia is poor vision in one eye, and is sometimes referred to as “lazy eye.” It usually occurs before the age of eight. Infants born prematurely or with low birth weight are at greater risk.

Refractive errors cause blurry images due to the shape of the eyeball or lens. These common conditions are easily treated with glasses or contact lenses. There are three types of refractive errors:

Myopia or nearsightedness is good close vision but poor distance vision.

Hyperopia or farsightedness is poor up-close vision. Distant objects can easily be seen.

Astigmatism is imperfect vision at any distance.

Eye exam schedule for kids

Routine eye exams are a crucial part of your child’s well being and readiness for learning. Many parents do not know that school screenings are not the same as eye exams. Even with 20/20 vision, your child can still have problems that only an eye doctor can detect.

Newborns have their eyes checked before leaving the hospital. And leading medical organizations recommend comprehensive eye exams for health, vision development, and alignment at these ages:

“P. C. reviewed 4Sight iCare — 5 star (June 25)
I normally don’t write reviews but this is my exception.
I strongly recommend you check out Dr. Burke. I came in for an eye problem and needless to say was very scared. I didn’t have an appointment but yet he took time to speak with me directly. After some discussion, I decided to have him look at the problem. He was attentive and compassionate. He explained everything he was doing (No surprises) with procedure or cost. He answered my questions and when all was said and done. I walked out feeling a lot calmer, not cured but he couldn’t do that. That will take time and some medicine – I can handle that. As soon as this mess is cleared up – I will be going back for the eye exam. Eye care has come along way. So, my friends you know who you are. I’ve heard you say you need to see someone. I’ve got a good someone. Call or check out their website. Better yet – schedule an appointment I will go with. : )”
